Best Cycling Gear and Apparel for Less Than $100

BEST VALUE BIB SHORTS

7 / 15

Performance Elite
MSRP: $75

The Performance Elite costs less than $100, but against other bibs in its price range it had the hands-down best fit, with great-feeling nylon/spandex fabric. The straps have good stretch and a wide profile so they lie flat whether you're sitting upright or sprinting in the drops. The Italian-made, four-way stretch chamois also drew raves: "It seems thin, but it provides fat comfort." One rider summed up the Elite: "It's like paying for a Honda Civic and getting an Acura."
